'Angry Birds' downloads hit 1 million per day

Rovio's Peter Vesterbacka has said today that the developer's blockbuster smash hit franchise "Angry Birds" now sees 1 million downloads per day.

The news comes a day after the developer said the game (in all iterations) had surpassed 250 million overall downloads.

Vesterbacka also adds that the developer is working on integrating more NFC features into its game, and that the company is set to release a cookbook, as well.

Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio are constant fixtures on "top games" lists for both Android and iOS, and the games are also now available for Macs, PCs, and even within the Chrome browser.

Vesterbacka added that he believes success has come from building a strong brand, focusing on getting fans first, consumers second.
